A tasteful collaboration with superb detailing.
Brooklyn-based retailer, Alumi has connected with FILA for a tasteful collaboration on the FILA Overpass. The Alumni x FILA Overpass 'Jamaican Beef Patty' draws its inspiration from the 'Jamaican Beef Patty' – hence the name – taking cues from the Caribbean treat.
"With this collaboration, our mission was to capture the spirit of the neighborhoods we call home by sharing a treat we eat too often. After all, you are what you eat," explained Jaeki Cho of Alumni. Crown Heights and Flatbush are two of the largest hubs of the West-Indian population in New York City. As a result, at both Alumni locales, Caribbean cuisines are a dietary staple. So it’s no coincidence that for Alumni’s first sneaker collaboration with FILA, Jamaican beef patty became the choice for inspiration.
As you can see, the Alumni x FILA Overpass 'Jamaican Beef Patty' features a predominant bright yellow upper, constructed from pigskin suede. Lavender accents land on the top eyelets and FILA branding near the heel, while additional branding is done in Red and Blue. Some highlights on the upper include debossing on the toe cap – resembling the beef patty crust – and brown leather insoles referencing the filling of the Jamaican Beef Patty that also features co-branding and an beef patty illustration. The silhouette sits atop a White midsole and a translucent outsole featuring an all-over beef patty graphic.
Look for this Alumni x FILA Overpass 'Jamaican Beef Patty' collaboration to drop on July 9th at the Alumni Crown Heights location (298 Utica Avenue, Brooklyn 11213) and online at alumniofny.com.
